Don’t feel bad. According to Fox News Jeb Bush got a huge bump last night. To listen to them you’d think his remarks were saintly. I gave up listening after 30 minutes or so. It was a tit for tat, mud slinging contest. I thought Trump was lost in the woods.
CC cited a heart string 9/11 and some people ate it up
I think Christie’s best line was about average Americans not caring about how well or poorly Trump and Fiorina did in business.
That audience was stacked big time. With the limited seating CNN controlled the audience response because of who they chose to be there. You could tell because of who they applauded. Cruz got virtually no applause at all, not even polite.
I liked the format, even though the call in radio(s) are saying it was a put up to slam Trump
We still have a year ... 6-8 months, anyway
I'm loving this cycle.
Tapper made sure Cruz didn’t win, cutting him off at every opportunity, while Fiorina could interrupt at will and get a full hearing. It’s stupid to have nine more of these phony “debates” for the enrichment and entertainment of the Democrat media, but that dumb decision has the fingerprints of the RNC all over it.
At this point in the game I’ll take Ted in the number 3 spot on Drudge. Fiorina is like Carson once people find out more about her record she’s going to take a dive.
+10. Very accurate post.
I read some speech that she supposedly gave her article that she supposedly wrote that went on and on about how great islam as a religion and a world class belief system immediately after the events of 9/11.
Islam is not a good thing.
She apparently thinks it is.
I also was sent an article that I cannot find right now where as a CEO she worked to get her products sold to Iran when they were under embargo because they are a terrorist state.
I wish somebody would post that.
Again.
Hmm. Well, I hope you find you are looking for... Good luck.
The RNC hand picked the audience, which was mostly big donor. This was covered by the press many times prior to the debate.
Speaking of Fiorina, I came away feeling she is the reason why many men divorce their wives. To me, she is a nasty, angry and vengeful “bitch” that has no business being in politics. She may be smart but IMO, not the leader that this country needs. I never have thought much about California voters picking their candidates but can clearly see why they never elected Fiorina even so much a dog catcher.
So my perception was spot on.
She had a hard class to run against. That’s her reason for being a Republican. The supposed separation status gave her ground. I tell ya, the politics in this huge state, absolutely hinder any kind of rational governance. It will not get better, until this state separates the North and Central from the Coast and 150 miles inland. It has to be basically a diagonal split. Most folks are concentrating on a north/south split. Our state doesn’t work that way now. Why these activists think it will work that way, is beyond my ability to explain the facts. I have been trying for 22 years. Most of the problem is the greed at both ends of the argument. Fiorina is a problem, to who ever will take her on board.
They were not going to applaud Trump for anything. It was a stacked elite audience not open to the general public.
Steve Deace calls them “slappies.”
Dispassionate take IMHO, Deace had previously endorsed Ted Cruz.

Trump acted like a juvenile arrogant buffoon and undignified the seriousness of what was taking place. He tried to make it a carnival act at first and others caught on fast. The job is far too serious for Trump to even be a serious contender. Jindal had more qualifications and knowledge than Trump. Trump the first 15 minutes cured me of ever considering him. There's nothing there to see with Trump he's simply arrogant, charismatic, ego driven, empty suit knowledge of government, knowledge of Constitution, no needed knowledge on world issues, & no knowledge leaders wise. He has no answers to give because he doesn't even know about these issues it seems. Others came prepared he did pure and simple. He is a one note song using illegal immigration as what seems to be the only thing he has any sort of knowledge of.
Kasich was wishy washy on everything more so than even Jebthro and Paul.
Here is a Borders policy that would be faster and more effective than a wall. Triple and even if needed quadruple the manpower of our Border Patrol & at first boosted by our ARMED troops and equipment placed on the actual border until more BP is hired and certified. Give the BP the same powers as the USCG but limited to 25-30 miles from the border. The BP are in a war zone and it should be treated as being one. Allow them to shoot back in all circumstances. Give them all the modern electronic technology & weapons needed to detect intruders and if needed defend themselves and our nation from intruders above and below ground.
Reform as an agency the INS and have them pick up for deportation all others caught by local agencies throughout the U.S. within 48 hours of arrest. Deportation hearings should be immediate. Build a large both for intermediate holding and long term prison on the salt flats off the highway between between Carldbad, New Mexico and El Paso to place repeat border offenders and felon illegals who do violent crimes in. Build another one in Arizona. A no thrills prison.
Forina like Trump needs to stay in private sector although she came off as at least having some understanding of our national issues and world issue. IMO she beat Trump in that respect.
Christie? GOP-E-NE. Rubio was way too soft on immigration. Jebthro? Forget him entirely. He can't even admit nor understand the damage his dad and brother did and would call back in all the same losers to run the country. Huckleberry? Needs to either stay with a variety show host gig or preaching. Rand Paul I put in the same class a Jebthro.
Like yr dog(s). And bike is very cool. Not so much for me the snakes. Great graphics tho.
